I did just breeze through it and it looks awesome. I will consult it when I decide to go deeper.

Cool to see all the hex tool love. (assembler love is overrated and yeha it would be the first thing I would jump on when there is one to patch. Since documented code is nice to come gack to..)

I would love to see SNES guide. I was thinking to put something to get too.. but I am super distracted and probably not the best person to write guides.

Thanks for all your patches, cheats and guides!
